Leather is an animal product derived from the hide of cattle, goats and other animals. Their skin is cleaned up and processed to turn into the strongest durable leather; So a lot of different products can be made from leather: shoes, bags, belts. We will see samples, and learn how to use dyes to modify the virtues of leather and make playful designs.
Be sure the leather is clean prior to applying the dye. You can wipe it down with a damp cloth. Then, with a sponge or brush, apply the dye in thin, even layers. Pouring multiple thin layers works better than one thick because it allows the dye to penetrate better.
Leather dyes can easily be used to add color to your creations. With the right dyes and techniques, you can transform bare leather into multicolored talisman. Alcohol based dyes are perhaps the most commonly used leather dye. They are available in a variety of colors and can be blended to form new colors.
Alcohol-based dyes are used by soaking the dye onto the leather using a sponge or brush. You can layer on different colors for a unique look or a single color for a bold effect. Alcohol-based dyes dry fast and remain bright for a long period of time. Use gloves, and work in a well-ventilated space.
With resist dyeing, you use a resist (like wax or tape) to block out certain parts of the leather before dyeing it. The resist prevents the dye from touching those areas, creating a pattern. Once the dye has dried, you can remove the resist to reveal your design. This means you can create intricate designs on leather.
Once you become more comfortable dyeing leather, experiment with different tools to enhance your skills. There are plenty of other methods you can make use of to color and design, other than resist dyeing. A fun technique is to airbrush, which yields smooth, blended colors.
Another fun technique is marbling, where you mix up different colors of dye to create a marbled effect. You can also do unique patterns with stencils, stamps, etc. Again, the possibilities are endless with leather dyeing, so experiment and have fun. You can learn this skill, and with practice, give your work a unique touch.
